In 2019, Arsenal didn’t look that good. Unai Emery took the reigns over from the famous Arsene Wenger, there were power struggles in the club between the owners and the Gunners didn’t have much success on the pitch. In July, former player Edu Gaspar was appointed the club’s first ever technical director. By December, Emery was sacked and the Brazilian advocated for Mikel Arteta. The second golden era was about to begin. Fast forward to 2026, the Spaniard is still in the club, while Edu just signed for Levski Sofia, a club from Bulgaria!##LINKED_NEWS_63225##The Athletic reported that a number of new directors were appointed by the Bulgarian club, and Edu is among them.“His experience in sports strategy, selection, talent development and organizational building will be an important asset for the club on its path to a sustainable and competitive football structure” Levski explained Edu’s appointment in a statement. The Sofia-based club did not specify the precise role Edu would have but added the newly-formed board would elect a chairman and an executive director at its next meeting.##LINKED_NEWS_47740##This is certainly a downfall for the Brazilian, who was pivotal in turning Arsenal around, bringing and supporting Arteta, reshuffling the aging squad, before he eventually left in 2024 for a bigger role, to oversee all clubs in the Evangelos Marinakis’ footballing empire. While he was suppose to look after Nottingham Forest, Olympiacos and Rio Ave, Edu fell out with then Forest coach Nuno Espirito Santo and eventually left the position weeks ago. He will now start all over with the Bulgarian club. Edu will face a new challenge of keeping Levski at the top. The Sofia based team won the Bulgarian league title last season, ending a world record run of 14 successive league titles for domestic rivals Ludogorets, and they want a repeat.EFL CUPRound 3Tuesday21.45: (2.20) Peterborough (3.35) Barnsley (3.05)21.45: (3.00) West Ham (3.40) Fulham (2.20)22.00: (8.50) Ipswich (4.50) Arsenal (1.35)22.00: (1.80) Liverpool (3.60) Tottenham (4.00)22.00: (8.00) Reading (5.30) Brentford (1.30)Wednesday21.45: (1.58) Everton (3.70) Wolverhampton (5.60)21.45: (5.40) Fleetwood (3.70) Sheffield Utd (1.60)22.00: (2.90) Coventry (3.40) Aston Villa (2.25)22.00: (1.83) Man.Utd.
